The '''Goolix''' ({{j|ミズモチ|Mizu Mochi|Water {{w|Mochi}}}}) is a watery boss in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]; on approaching its location, it emerges from the ground. It resembles a blue amoeba with two nuclei (a blue one and a larger yellow one). It stretches around to engulf [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] who happen to be in its path and drowns them out with its aquatic properties. The only Pikmin invulnerable to it are [[Blue Pikmin]], due to it being composed mostly of [[water]]. It is only found in [[The Impact Site]] on odd-numbered days starting from day 9 (even-numbered days starting from day 8 will have the [[Mamuta]] instead). | The '''Goolix''' ({{j|ミズモチ|Mizu Mochi|Water {{w|Mochi}}}}) is a watery boss in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]; on approaching its location, it emerges from the ground.

|scientific = | |scientific = [[Canon#Debatable_canon|Unofficially]], in the ''Pikmin'' Player's guide, its scientific name is ''Binuclei siphonophorus''. ''Binuclei'' uses the prefix "bi-", meaning two, and "nuclei", the plural form of nucleus. A nucleus is essentially the brain of the cell, often portrayed as round. This is in reference to Goolix's cell-like appearance, containing two nucleus-like orbs floating within it. ''Siphonophorus'' is an alteration of "Siphonophores", an order of multicellular marine life, referencing Goolix's watery body. | ||
